THE FRISCO EXTENSION.
The following are extracts from letters
received by prominent citizen Of Even
ing Shade, in answer to inquiries made
concerning the extension of the Frisco
line through Sharp county;
"st. Louis, Mo-, Jan. 81, 'S7.
Dear Sir: Your letter in relation to
the extension of the Salem Branch re-
ceived. Il is probable that this company
will extend this line, and l would be
glad to receive from you any suggestions
or statements which you may desire to
make in relation to the extension OF the
same through your town, giving what
YOU consider to be the best route, the
products of the country, population OF
towns, character and value OF timber;
also stating whether any mineral exists
on the line and if so, in what quantities.
l will be pleased to hear from you.
Yours truly, JOHN ODAY,
Second Vice President.

E. A. Seay, another one of the compa-
ny, writing from Jefferson City, Jan. 2S'
addressing the same individual, says
"One line goes through Salem, Texas,
Howell and Ozark to the state line; an
other from Salem through Reynolds,
shannon, Garter and Ripley to the state
line; and third starts at point on the
line of the last described road in Rey-
nolds, through Shannon and Oregon to
the state line. This last will no doubt
terminate, so far as the Missouri charter
is concerned, at Mammoth Spring. The
charter of all these branches was taken
out and articles of association filed with
the secretary Of state on the Goth OF the
month"
These corroborating answers from diff
ferent men, writing from different points
nearly the same date, is some evidence
that it is the intention of the company
to make this extension some time in the
near future.
Sharp County record., 1887-02-24

B.F. Olden, a West Plains attorney,
writing from that place under date of
Jan. 22d, says:

g. Little Rock road will be built into
Arkansas during this year. l have had

THE NIGHT LIFE OF YOUNG MEN.

One night often destroys whole life.
The leakage of the night keeps the day
forever empty. Night is sins harvest
time. More sin and crime are COM
mitted in one night than in all the DAYS
Of the week. This is more emphatically
true of the city than the country. The
street lamps, like file of soldiers, with
torch in hand, stretch away in long lines
on either sidewalk; the gay colored
transparencies are ablaze with attrac-
tions; the saloons and billiard halls are
brilliantly illuminated; the gay compa-
ny begins to gather to the haunts and
houses of pleasure; the mills Of destruc-
ton are grinding health, honor, happi-
ness and hope out of a thousand lives.
The city under the gaslight is not the
same as under Gods sunlight. The
allurements, perils and pitfalls of night
are hundred fold deeper and darker,
and more destructive. Night life III our
towns and cities is darker problem,
whose depths and abysses and whirl-
pools make us start back with horror.
Young man, tell me how and where
you spend your evenings, and will
write you chart Of your character and
final destiny, with blanks to insert
names. II seems to me an appropriate
text would be: "Watchman, what of the
night Policeman, pacing thy beat, what
.ofthe night ?'' What are the young
men of the cities doing at night Where
do they spend their eveningss Who
are their associates? What are their
habits? When do they go in and what
time do you see them come out !? Po-
liceman, would the night life of young
men commend them to the confidence
of their employers Would it be to
their credit? Make a record of the
nights of one week Put III the paper
the names of all the young men, their
habits and haunts, that are on the
streets for sinful pleasure. Would there
not be shame and confusion? Some
would not dare go to their places of
business some would not return home
at night; some would leave the city
Remember, young men, that in the re-
tina of the all-seeing eye there is moth
ing hid, but shall be revealed On the
last day. = u .gNsqesesetG@4
